5G, known as the core infrastructure of the 4th industrial revolution, due to its wide range of applications and application prospects, the battle for 5G strategic commanding heights has been surging. Other countries in the world, especially Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, where the communication industry started early, have intensified the research and development of 5G technology to grab the first piece of 5G application cake. Under such background, it is pointed out in the Guidelines concerning Further Expanding and Upgrading Information Consumption to Continuously Unleash the Potential of Domestic Demand issued by the State Council that, the 5th mobile communication standards research shall be accelerated with technological test and industrial promotion to aim at start commercial use by 2020.

5G business application demand is diversified, at the same time, 5G business flow outburst will put forward higher requirements to the network performance. 5G application scenarios cover the enhanced mobile broadband, the large-scale machine communication and highly reliable and low-latency communication. Compared with 4G, the broadband demand is improved by 100 times and the delay requirement is reduced by 10 times. Limited by limited spectrum resources, it can only meet the requirements of business standards through architecture adjustment. From the system architecture adjustment estimates, 5G will increase the demand for fiber optical cable. The industry insiders believe that, considering the situation of fiber optical resource reuse, 5G’s demand for fiber optical cable in the next three years will be at least three to four times that of 4G’s demand. Corning predicts that the fiber optical resources will be 2-6 times than FTTX needed. The demand for optical fiber and cable will create a market space of 100 billion Yuan, and the optical fiber and cable industry will be the first sub-industry to benefit from the communication infrastructure construction, or will usher in a new stage of development.
